A movie titled 100 years is a film to be released 100 years time. Will you be available to watch the movie? After it was celebrated last November with an exclusive
preview of the film’s trailer at the Sheats Goldstein Mansion in Los Angeles,
“100 Years: The Movie you’ll never See,” starring French actor, John Malkovich,
is set to conquer the world.
The ground-breaking movie, which envisions Earth one hundred
years from now (not to be released till 2115) began its tour of the world
recently after it was transported to London under heavy security, having
commenced the journey last December in Hong Kong. The film is now on its way to
Tokyo, Moscow, and the United States. It is expected to storm Nigeria and South
Africa later in the year before it reaches its final destination at the House
of Louis XIII in Cognac, where the safe box will be finally unlocked in one
hundred years from now. Directed by Robert Rodriguezn, the film is said to be
inspired by the century of careful craftsmanship and patience it takes to
create each decanter of Louis XIII Cognac. Ludovic du Plessis, Global Executive
Director for Louis XIII Cognac, the sponsors of the film, was in Nigeria last
week where he unravelled the mystery behind the big-budget film, stating
categorically what his company intends to achieve by embarking on such
ambitious project. According to him, “We want to use the movie to increase
awareness on the beauty of Louis XIII Cognac, and at the moment, we have over
one billion followers on Twitter and other social media platform.” Ludovic, who
has only worked with the company for fourteen months now, said he approached
actor John Malkovich to develop an original screenplay for “100 Years” that
would reflect the incredible legacy of craftsmanship that goes into one
decanter of Louis XIII, and the fact that its creators will never experience
the results of their work. “I told Malkovich that when the movie is produced,
we are going to put the only copy of it in a luxury safe box for the next 100
years. So, the source of inspiration of that movie is Louis XIII, is the fact
that it takes 100 years and four generation of Cellar Masters to craft one,” he
said. According to him, to ensure that “100 Years” remains secure until its
official premiere on November 18, 2115, one century from now, the film was
placed in a state-of-the-art safe which will open automatically in 100 years
when the timing is complete.

“One thousand important guests from around the
world received an exclusive invitation to give to their descendants to attend
the premiere of “100 Years”, on November 18, 2115, at the House of Louis XIII
in Cognac, France.” Interestingly, just as each cellar master dedicates his
life to creating a masterpiece that he will never experience, the cast and crew
of “100 Years” will never see the final cut of the film.
